Montreal has Danault, Domi, Suzuki and Kotkaniemi as C's and they could really use a good, young cost controlled LHD to pair with Weber.
Hanifin for Domi
Sign Hall
Use Bennett, Janko, Kylington as trade bait to get another middle six right shooting RW option
Sign a UFA D to replace Hanifin
Oh yeah, and win the draft lottery if they lose to the Jets

I love the idea of Domi - but the expansion draft does come into consideration.
Monahan
Lindholm
Hall/Gaudreau
Mangiapane
Backlund
Tkachuk
That means that we're out one of Bennett, Domi or Dube - unless you expose Backlund. Shedding Hanifin for picks/prospects that aren't eligible for the expansion draft would be pretty dang great (if you can keep Brodie)
Giordano - Brodie
Valimaki - Andersson
Kylington - ?
+ assets from Hanifin
Or
Giordano - Andersson
Hanifin - ?
Valimaki - ?
Kylington
I like the 1st group of defensemen better than the 2nd even without the assets from Hanifin.

Definitely. I like Hanifin, I just like the idea of retaining Brodie while gaining the assets from Hanifin.
